Before the 2022 World Cup 16 qualifying rules
1, the highest score, the highest goal difference and the highest total number of goals in the group match ranked in the top few. The 32 teams in the World Cup will take the lead in ranking according to their points in each group. The team with the highest score is undoubtedly the first in the group 1, and the same score is the goal difference. The highest goal difference ranks first, and the highest goal difference ranks first than the total number of goals.
2. The ones with high relationship between winning and losing, high goal difference and high total number of goals rank in the top. If the final ranking can't be compared in the case of 1, that is, the points, goal difference and total goals are all equal, then the winning-losing relationship, goal difference and total goals of each team in the corresponding group will be conducted, and so on.
3. Compared with the score of fair play, people with fewer red and yellow cards rank higher. If two or more teams are still tied in the case of 1 and the second case, the score of fair play, that is, the red and yellow cards rank higher than the former. A, yellow card 1 point. B, indirect red card (red card produced by two yellow cards) 3 points. C, direct red card 4 points. D, yellow card+direct red card 5 points.
